Live, work, connect and co-create in Japan's historic port city.
Shimonoseki is a historic port city at the western tip of Japan's main island, where people, goods, and cultures have crossed for centuries. Today, it is transforming once again, this time through renovation and creativity.
Across the city, empty buildings and traditional townhouses are being reborn as coworking hubs, cafés, artist studios, and community spaces. Local creators, architects, and entrepreneurs are working hand-in-hand to design new lifestyles that blend history with innovation. Turning vacant spaces into vibrant centers for collaboration, culture, and exchange.
Here, digital nomads can connect with local makers, join community events, and co-create ideas that give new life to the city. Shimonoseki is more than a destination, it is a living port of ideas, where tradition meets the future, and where your creativity can find a home.
Shimonoseki has long flourished as a port city. A gateway where people, goods, and cultures have come and gone for centuries. The port has served as a hub of trade and exchange, continuously bringing new value to the region.
In the coming era, the port will be a gathering place for people, ideas, and projects from around the world. A hub where new industries and cultures emerge through interaction. By connecting local residents and visitors, it will foster the creation of both cultural and economic value.
A place that welcomes digital nomads and creators, providing natural spaces for interaction with the local community.
